"The development of the Troy Tech Center is an important strategic step for the organization," said Justin Norman, president and CEO of JD Norman Industries, Inc. "The office will place many of our corporate staff closer to the North American and global headquarters of our automotive customers."

Norman stated, "Initially, the Troy Tech Center will be home to our growing sales and purchasing departments. Over time the location will evolve into an engineering design and development center as we work with our customers on product development."
